Egg and Cheese Waffle Sandwiches

I feed two teenage boys and, for those of you that have never had to feed teenage boys, let me just explain what itâs like. Itâs like you need a third job to afford cereal. Itâs also like WHERE DO THE CALORIES GO??

I mean â this is a major measure of injustice here â the fact that teenage boys can eat a box of cereal, some leftover pizza, a bag of carrots, and then ask me what Iâm making for dinner, all while keeping the top button of their pants intact. Itâs really not fair.

It has taught me some lessons, though. Like how to make a lot of food on a budget. During the school year Iâve also learned how to get that food made FAST! Boys drag their feet in the morning. They are always losing papers, socks, important projects. They holler up the stairs that they need clean towels AFTER theyâve gotten in the shower.

Everything is super last minute and so they try to skip eating in the morning. For two kids who seem to have the caloric intake needs of baby grizzly bears, skipping breakfast seems like a terrible plan.

So I started making these Egg and Cheese Waffle Sandwiches as a way to hand them breakfast as they run out the door. All you need is a paper towel and an appetite. Truthfully, they would probably not notice if I didnât hand them the paper towel.

The waffle iron cooks the biscuits much faster than they would cook in the oven. Adding the egg and cheese to the griddle keeps the mess confined to just one appliance. And if you want to change things up, the flavors are easy to customize. Change the cheese, add some veggies, crumble in some leftover bacon â these sandwiches are awesome!

Notes

You can also add bacon or veggies to each sandwich. Throw them on top of the cheese before adding the egg.

I did not specify the type of cheese because changing it up really offers lots of flavor varieties. Try pepper jack for spicy. Try goat cheese for creamy and smooth. Add herb butter to make that even better. Shredded mozzarella and a tomato slice = Italian breakfast. Be creative!
